pickArnie Yashenko, 8th grader, has all the panache of a modern #superhero. He‘s tall, quick, agile, good student, good at any sport he tries, not to mention already plays on a high school football team. Korman‘s new book is clever and amusing, published this year.

Next up in Eng550: Jane Austen‘s Love and Freindship. Excited to take down a volume from last month‘s EBay find, the 1989 Folio Society Collected Works, and this is in the one volume I haven‘t already read! #summerschool #pemberlittens

About to enter google classroom for our summer session. Music teacher is having us make guitars out of tissue boxes. What fun to be had!!!
My favorite marmalade-bitter orange.
I skipped the #bookstore prompt for #riotgrams because I didn‘t want to “accidentally” buy a bunch of new books. So now, for #summerschool, here‘s my small non-fiction shelf. (Some humour mixed in here as well.)
I was almost done reading this a few years ago when it became a casualty of overdue library books. I haven‘t finished it yet but what I read was excellent. I think it should be required reading with every high school American History course. It makes a case for not using textbooks to teach history at all but rather primary documents to get the truth and not the official press release of history.

Back to work! I‘m the county‘s middle/high summer school librarian this year! Here are some newly purchased books to process. I might borrow a couple to read too! #summerschool #teachersofLitsy
Gay YA with multiple references to my music obsession, Rufus Wainwright...was so excited. But with tired tropes like the evil fat boss and the stuck up teacher with an English accent, dialog as scintillating as "show'em who's who!"... it feels dated and like an impersonation of a YA book. The potential for a great story is there, but this isn't it.
Paper writing is really getting in the way of my leisure reading! #flamingballofstress #summerschool #ratherbereadingGWTW
